15 ✪ ten time lords a-leaping

[thosethatrun]

Hello! I'm the Doctor! Tenth incarnation, to be exact.

Scrawny bloke, with the big hair. Some of us like to call him String Bean. [and by some of us, Nine means himself] I'm the Ninth incarnation, by the way, hello!

Oi! I am not a string bean! [ He's resisting the urge to continue this and is instead clearing his throat and returning to the PSA. ]

[Oh she's laughing too]

Thanks for the tips. I'll...keep them in mind.

[thosethatrun]

I'm hoping you won't have to use them, but it can't hurt to be at least a little prepared.

[someoneto_carry]

Right.

And just how often do these typical Christmas invasions happen for you?

[thosethatrun]

Every Christmas I've had since I was my Ninth.

[someoneto_carry]

...Ah.

[What an unlucky man]

Then...guess we oughta try figuring out about getting past the problem of Charles Dickens not being here.

[charmandsmiles]

Oi, I said "some other famous author with a quick wit and a relatively open mind" would work too. I'm sure we've got one of those around somewhere.

[someoneto_carry]

I don't know, that sounds like a pretty high criteria. They might get cold feet if they find out they gotta fill Dicken's shoes.

[thosethatrun]

Could be worse. We could be asking them to fill Shakespeare's shoes. He's helped me fight off aliens before.

[someoneto_carry]

Shakespeare helped you fight off aliens?

[thosethatrun]

He did! The Carrionites were using him to try to break open a hole in reality. There's a reason 'Love's Labors Won' was never published.

[She can't help but laugh a little]

You ever notice just how surreal your life sounds, Doctor?

[thosethatrun]

[ He laughs too because, truthfully? ]

Not until someone mentions it, no, not really.

[charmandsmiles]

You got Shakespeare? [he is pouting at you, Ten. NO FAIR]

[thosethatrun]

Yup. And you know all those Dark Lady sonnets? They were written about my companion at the time.

[charmandsmiles]

You've got to be kidding.

[thosethatrun]

Not at all.
